Matt Gaetz cut the Zelensky regime off. He's my pick for Conservative of the Year if it weren't an election year and we weren't looking for a VP choice. Jim Jordan, MTG, and Massie also I'd take umbrage about their nominations. Enough McCarthy bashing. He's dead meat and nobody cares. Nikki I'd move up to near the top. And where's Mitt Romney? He deserves a RINO lifetime achievement award. Also, I agree with all your foreign nominees. Just wikify and post em up. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 00:00, January 7, 2024 (EST)

DeSantis too may not be deserving of being a called a RINO. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 00:10, January 7, 2024 (EST)
